Rusty The Roamer

A dog snatched from its owner in New South Wales, Australia, in May has turned up in Darwin, 3,000km (1,800 miles) away. Rusty, an eight-year-old poodle/maltese cross, was picked up earlier this week by a Darwin City Council ranger and taken to the local dog pound. A council spokesman said Rusty appeared confused and needed a good wash. Luckily, Rusty had been microchipped and the Darwin pound was astonished to find he was owned by someone living in Woy Woy, on the NSW Central Coast. His owner, Shirley Lowry, had made appeals in her local newspaper for Rusty's return. He had disappeared while she was inside a local newsagency. "I love him to death," Ms Lowry said. "I can't believe I'll see my little fella again. "It just goes to show the value of having your dog micro-chipped so they can come home to their owners."

A Poodle Named Blue

He was caught when a woman from London became suspicious after telephoning the man and being told she needed to pay cash upfront. She did a Google search and managed to locate the real owner of the dog. Blue's owner Lynne Day told The Mirror newspaper: "Anybody buying a dog on the internet needs to be aware of this. Some will send cas...

Police Dog DJ In Court

TWO men sued the NYPD when they were bitten by a police dog. A justifiable law suit, you might think, except the two men were burglary suspects who were trying to escape, say the police. The two men, however, against whom burglary charges were later dropped, told a different story. Emmanuel Blake and William Bryant, told a New York court that police had pinned them face-down and had then ordered the German shepherd to "get" them. The German shepherd, called DJ, allegedly did just that and bit the pair. Bryant, 19, was bitten in the right leg; Blake, 22, in the face, neck and both arms in the incident which happened in Brooklyn in 2004. Yesterday (July 27, 2007) a Manhattan federal court jury rejected their claim City lawyer Frances Sand said the city was pleased that jurors "recognized that there was no excessive force, no assault and no battery in this case and that the three officers involved acted properly." Blake and Bryant plan to appeal, s...
